Want to learn more about racism and its effects on all of us? The Unity Library has many resources – books, videos, and online content – that are appropriate for children and adults.

Published in 2016, "Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching: A Young Black Man's Education," by Mychal Denzel Smith explores the question, “How do you learn to be a black man in America?” while coming of age during the presidency of Barack Obama and witnessing the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and too many more.

Search “Anti-racism / Racism Collection.” If you only want resources for children, then do a search for “racism, children.” The catalog can also be accessed under "Additional Resources" in the column to the right (below on the mobile version) and from the Library page at http://www.unityunitarian.org/library-and-bookstall.html.

​In 2016, the Beloved Community staff team was formed at Unity Church to strengthen and coordinate Unity’s anti-racism and multi-cultural work, and to share the stories of this journey with the wider community. We commit to sharing the struggles, the questions, and the collaborations here at Unity and in the wider world of our faith and city. The current members of the team include Rev. Janne Eller-Isaacs, Rev. Rob Eller-Isaacs, Rev. KP Hong, Drew Danielson, Rev. Lisa Friedman, Kathryn Jay, Pauline Eichten, and Erika Sanders. This article on BLUU will be the first in an ongoing series of reporting out current events and developments in our aspirations to realize the Beloved Community more fully in our lives.
